Interim Inside IR35 Day-rate Contract Role
We're recruiting for an experienced Lead Data Architect / Lead Data Engineer to join a major Energy & Utilities transformation programme.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a modern Azure Databricks platform, leading architecture whilst remaining technically hands-on across enterprise-scale data engineering initiatives.
You'll work alongside senior stakeholders, engineering teams and architects to design scalable Lakehouse solutions supporting critical business data.
What you'll be doing
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
